Toni Braxton showcases her svelte figure at 52 in a stunning bikini selfie as she chooses to social distance instead of going to the beach
Toni Braxton set jaws dropping when she shared a photo of herself in a bikini on Sunday with her 3.3 million Instagram followers.
The 52-year-old R&B legend looked effortlessly youthful in the intimate mirror selfie from inside her home.
She highlighted her athletic figure and looked as if she were about to take off the black top, which was unstrapped and loosely held up with her hands.

The string bikini also featured a pair of partially sheer bottoms with a small cut-out below her taut tummy.
Although she looked ready for the beach, Toni choose to do the safe and responsible thing by practicing social distancing at home due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
‘MEMORIAL DAY weekend,’ she captioned the photo. ‘Beaches are open & I’m beach body ready… but I’m too scared to go. It’s still COVID-19. Y’all stay safe!’
The Un-Break My Heart singer’s choice to play it safe came as flocks of people were reported celebrating at beaches and lakes across the country, even as the New York Times drew attention to the nearly 100,000 Americans who have died from COVID-19 by publishing just a fraction of their names.

Earlier this month, Toni emerged with the new single Do It, with lyrics urging listeners to end fruitless relationship.
The release coincided with the announcement of her move to the British–Jamaican label Island Records, which has released artists ranging from contemporary stars including Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and Drake to classic artists like Elton John, Bob Marley and Queen.
In April, Toni responded to the popular docuseries The Last Dance, about Michael Jordan and his last championship run with the Chicago Bulls.
She clarified that she and Dennis Rodman were never an item during that period.
‘Even though @dennisrodman was kinda hot in the 90s, I never dated Dennis Rodman. We were at the VMAs,’ she posted for her 1.7 million followers on Twitter along with a hashtag referencing the documentary.

Toni earlier this month ruled out a drive-through wedding with rapper Birdman, 51, during an interview on the Rick And Sasha radio show.
The seven-time Grammy Award winner and the rapper (real name: Bryan Christopher Williams), started dating in May 2016 and announced their engagement in February 2018.
The two called off the engagement in January of last year, though they’ve since patched things up and seem to be as in love as ever.
